My coworker’s son is starting his studies at Cornell this coming fall. Any advice you can share that I can pass on?

Congratulations! I'm happy to be a resource for him! (Outside of Bitcoin, I've loved being an Admissions Ambassador, so it'd be my pleasure!)
  1. I would say, I got here and immediately felt "behind." That's natural. Trust what you feel called to pursue and don't feel obliged to follow what everyone else is doing. 2) Don't worry if you haven't met "your people" right away - you likely won't until after fall break. Be the first person to say hi to someone you sit next to in class, see in office hours, or meet in a club meeting. It's how I've met all my closest friends and people are truly very friendly in my experience. (I thought that wouldn't be the case but to share an anecdote, one of my first weeks, someone I met in a club, invited me as their "stranger" to their "stranger dinner." Essentially, a group of people get together to have dinner with people they don't think anyone else knows, and everyone leaves with new connections. That's been my experience the whole 3 years! Very warm community. 3) Talk to and get to know your professors! They are wonderful and want to get to know you.
